This is a great way to eat sweet potato's ,if you love them. When I lived in Albuquerque,NM, Mrs.Connellyy (the home extension teacher)showed me this recipe for these great tasting morsels... I love them a lot...great at parties too! Great wrapped in bacon and dipped in pineapple sauce, or brown sugar maple- butter sauce.
